My most recent paper on how a cooperative longterm potentiation can map memory sequences in dendritic branches made the cover of Neuron.

我最近撰写的论文 主题是协同性长时程增强 何以找出神经元树突的记忆序列 成功上了《神经元》杂志封面了。

In fact, researchers have discovered that depriving rats of BDNF causes them to lose the capacity for long-term potentiation.

事实上，研究人员已经发现，剥夺老鼠的 BDNF 会使它们失去长时程增强的能力。

Stage 2 sleep is associated with long-term potentiation, a process that's thought to strengthen the synapses between neurons, which is essential for learning.

第二阶段睡眠与长期增强作用有关，这一过程被认为是加强神经元间突触的过程，而突触对学习至关重要。

It does this by promoting the production of a protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (or BDNF) , which in turn enables and improves a process called long-term potentiation.

这是通过促进一种叫做脑源性神经营养因子(BDNF)的蛋白质的产生来实现的，而这种蛋白质的产生反过来又促进了一种叫做长期增强的过程。
